The next press release, due to go out tomorrow evening, will be about a donation of images from the Mary Rose Trust:

Please help! If this goes down well in the media, then it will be a great precedent for getting more organizations to make their content available by Wikimedia websites.
You mention the Tropenmuseum; there's more than just the image donation there. They're providing high-resolution images and Wikimedia volunteers are carrying out the costly, time-intensive process of digitally restoring them.
The Mary Rose pics won't need restored, but Commons offers some interesting "services" to museums.
Durova's already done what she can with the image in the release at the moment. If you can figure out how to best add a mention of digital restorations, please do...
